My 1924 Ford Model T Roadster Build: Part 5 #TROG

PHEW!  It was a busy couple of weeks for me at Clayton's Hot Rods!  Now that we know this car will be going to The Race of Gentlemen, we wanna make sure it'll be done in time.  (No problem, right?)

It was good to get a bunch done, though, and we are gettin' pretty close to finished!  On this trip, I got the brake guts stuffed on the corners, the body, floor and grille painted, floor installed, drive line built, (with some help from Tim and Clay).  I also rebuilt the model A rear end and got the brake master cylinder installed, along with the brake and clutch linkage.  I figured out how to mount the gas tank, too, and got that all situated. Clay had his guy John come by to do some signage on a couple of cars, so he did up mine as well, while he was at it.

Yeah, and all of that with the trip to the Grand National Roadster Show in the middle.  I think I need a vacation from my vacation...

Mr. John getting his stenciles set...

...and getting some lettering laid down.

And here's what the finished product looked like.  I'm digging it.

We figured out this seat isn't gonna work, but had it in just for reference.

2015 Grand National Roadster Show #GNRS

Yeah, yeah.  I know I'm a little late gettin' these out on the interwebs, but I was working on my car for the last couple of weeks.  The GNRS was pretty darn fun this year, though.  Of course, for me, it's always nice to get the heck outta cold wet Washington and dry out a little.  Doesn't hurt that there's quite a few nice things to look at down there as well.

This was one of the first Cars we saw when we walked in the main building, and it has to be one of my faves, if not THE favorite of the whole show.  But then, I believe the Pierson Bros built it way back when, so that would explain a lot.

Another old build restored by the same folks from above.

This was an old race car from Colorado.  Some folks got it back together with help from the original builder and brought it out to The Race of Gentlemen in Wildwood, NJ, and from what I heard, they pretty much smoked everyone.

Somethin' looks a little disproportionate, here...

Oh, yeah.  It'd probably be the 4 extra cylinders.  That's not somethin' I see every day...

Don't miss the fine print, here.
